Federal judge Ann Donnelly of the Eastern District of New York has handed an early victory to the lawyers challenging President Trump’s executive order barring immigrants and travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US.

Judge Donnelly announced during an emergency hearing Saturday night that she was granting a stay that would prevent the government from deporting immigrants currently detained in airports around the country.

The decision halts part of Trump’s executive order, which barred citizens from those seven countries for the next 90 days.

Former PMAN President, Charly Boy has said the agitation for Biafra was a foolish venture and ask thoe clamouring for it to go back and develop the South-east region.

The self-styled ‘Area Father’ said this in an interview with Vanguard newspaper.

He said: “Now people are shouting Biafra but I say they don’t know what they are talking about. Experience is the best teacher and those of us that experienced Biafran war first hand know this is a foolish venture.

"During the war, my village was like the war theatre and I saw people dying per second all around me. There was death everywhere. If you have been seeing gory pictures of Syria, how death visits from everywhere, it was the exact way Biafra was during the war. Believe me, bullets didn’t even kill us as much as hunger. You can imagine, you and your friends would be playing and all of a sudden there would be air raid. As you were running helter-skelter to take cover you would see some people’s heads being blown off their bodies. Such sights have never left me. I was about 17 years old then and now somebody is shouting ‘Biafra’. No.”

US President, Donald Trump's executive order may affect Nigeria's two-year visa validity entry into America if President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government failed to take proactive measures.

According to The Cable analysis on the Trump's executive order, Nigerians will no longer be issued with American entry visas which have two-year validity.

The online medium said Nigerians who hold dual nationality will be affected if their other passport is from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen - the seven Muslim-majority countries “of concern”.

The Cable analysis shows that at least two clauses of the Executive order will affect Nigerians directly.

The Labour leader said Theresa May should not be endorsing Mr Trump until it was clear his Government was "actually going to protect fundamental rights and freedoms and laws".

Ms May invited Mr Trump to Britain on behalf of the Queen when she visited him in Washington DC earlier this week. He accepted her invitation.

The Prime Minister refused to condemn the ban on Saturday when questioned by journalists. It affects British citizens who were born in Iraq, including Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi, who says it will prevent him visiting his children, who are at university in the US.

The tweet came amid backlash over Trump's order handed down Friday that bars Syrian refugees indefinitely and halts the resettlement of all refugees for four months as the administration reviews its vetting process.

The order also denies entry for 90 days for individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries: Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Libya and Yemen.
